“We have been advised by the RDOS that if we continue to transport students by school bus between Princeton and Keremeos/Cawston (Hedley Run), they may be in the position of being evacuees and be dropped off at Emergency Operations Centres without the suppoervision or accompaniment of their parents. This will only complicate the relief efforts of the RDOS,” a release from Bev Young, superintendent of schools for school District No. 53 stated.

Parents who want their children to still attend school will have to drop them off and pick them up.

Bus service is expected to resume after the long weekend.

“We regret any inconvenience that this may cause and hope that all families remain safe during these challenging times,” the release states.
